This book reviews the latest developments in our understanding of the complex pathways regulating synthesis and secretion of the most important pituitary hormones. New paracrine factors, such as basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and cytokines are reviewed, as are recent molecular biology studies and transgenic animal models, which have opened a new era in explaining how different pituitary cell types may develop from a common progenitor stem cell.
